Pictureless Byrne

Derik was sent a great series of pages from an old Marvel Alpha Flight issue by John Byrne that uses only words in the panels. I also second his observation about the mainstream character of the pages, despite no picture content. It's also fun to see a little formalist experimentation by such a mainstream artist like Byrne. Though, come to think of it, he has played with things like this before, like with several pages of panels shown entirely from a subjective viewpoint.
